Brace yourself..The new season of Game of Thrones is coming! I bet you were waiting for this the whole year, torturing yourself with guessing what will happen with characters next (who will die in the new season!), is Jon Snow alive or dead, how bloody will be the war and who will get revenge. I'm singing the intro melody already for a week, I can…

Roast Duck (Inpired by 'Rare Birds' and Tim Mälzer)

Cooking With Hannibal: Rack of Sacrificial Lamb
Well, 'Hannibal' season 2 is over. Someone got more, than expected from the season finale, someone really waited for more...mmm...sophisticated ending, but those who didn't miss out the very last scene (in the airplane!) were a bit confused and surprised. Now we only need to wait for what the next season will bring to us. Personally, I&…

Every year, my family and I, celebrate Easter in my grandparents home. Usually, my grandma bakes Easter bread, but this year I tried even two different Easter loaves of bread; made by mom and grandma.

From Georgia. With Love
A year ago I spent a wonderful-wonderful week in Georgia. I fell in love with this country, with her (yes, her;) landscapes, air, with her people, wine and food, with her sound (oh yes, Georgians like to sing). Every morning I had a coffee exactly on a shore, in the evening - wine under the Milky Way, very close to the black sea, which was looking like…
